Description:	The Springer Handbook of Childhood and Youth Studies provides a comprehensive introduction to this exciting field of scholarship. This handbook challenges the dominant tendency to take a reductive problem-centric view of children and youth. It does this by emphasizing contemporary themes of thinking about children and young people, including Social Justice, Place, Well-Being, Citizenship, Learning, Identity, Time and Space, Labor, Bodies, Spirituality, and Play. The authors are drawn from 14 countries, providing important insights about children and young people in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the United Kingdom, North America, South America, Africa, and South Africa. A conscious decision has been made to feature the work of scholars who challenge common conceptions of childhood and youth and to emphasize overt discussion of the conceptual and methodological tools that researchers use to understand their lives. The result is a comprehensive and provocative collection that provides the reader with a plurality of views on the rapidly changing social and economic environments and landscapes in which childhood and youth are forged.
